The invention relates to an elevator arrangement comprising an elevator with a control system, and an inspection or maintenance mode, which elevator further comprises an elevator car arranged to run up and down in an elevator shaft along its guide rails, and which elevator car is equipped with a roof and a car operating panel. The arrangement comprises actuating means to open the roof of the elevator car, which actuating means are operatively connected to the car operating panel of the elevator.

In an elevator operation panel, a base of a casing includes a back plate portion, a lateral plate portion, and a vertical plate portion. An outer surface of the lateral plate portion, which faces the exterior of the casing, and a vertical direction end surface of the vertical plate portion on the lateral plate portion side are disposed in an identical plane. An L-shaped slit is provided between the back plate portion and the lateral plate portion. The slit includes a rectilinear portion, and a. projecting portion that projects into the back plate portion. In a condition where the lateral plate portion is bent relative to the back plate portion, a surface of the lateral plate portion that faces the rectilinear portion overlaps a surface of the back plate portion on an opposite side to a wall.

An elevator panel assembly comprises a detachable panel (4), for covering a front surface of an elevator car panel (2b), and a separation member (7). The separation member (7) comprises a head portion (7a) received against a back surface of the detachable panel (4). The detachable panel (4) is magnetically attachable to the elevator car panel (2b) and comprises a through hole (9) which is smaller than the head portion (7a) of the separation member (7) and arranged to sit directly over the head portion (7a). The separation member (7) is configured so that a tool inserted through the through hole (9) engages with the head portion to apply a mechanical force, causing the head portion (7a) to push against the back surface of the detachable panel (4).

An apparatus for providing an antibacterial film according to an embodiment of the present disclosure makes it possible to place an antibacterial film over a button on a manipulation panel through an antibacterial film providing unit and an antibacterial film recovery unit, thereby preventing the spread of bacteria that may be transmitted by many users' button manipulation. Additionally, it is possible to automatically replace the antibacterial film that covers the button on the manipulation panel at a predetermined time interval set through an auto-timer unit, thereby improving the convenience of use. Additionally, it is possible to sterilize the antibacterial film after use through a sterilization unit provided in the antibacterial film recovery unit for reuse, thereby achieving resource savings.

An elevator call box with internal, concealable latching mechanism comprises an internally disposed, cylindrical magnetic pin with a relatively low pull force that is slidably displaceable by an larger, external magnetic force supplied by a service technician. When the access door is closed, magnetic pin penetrates an orifice in a locking tab to lock the call box. The pin magnet is normally attracted to an adjacent, magnetically attractive clip snap-fitted to a latching block. The latch is externally disengaged via a stronger portable magnet carried by service personnel. The larger magnetic pull force of the portable magnet slidably displaces the smaller magnetic latch pin, freeing the locking tab to permit pivotal opening of the access door. Once the stronger magnet is moved away, the smaller magnetic pin, which is attracted magnetically to the clip, will return to it's rest position penetrating the locking tab and locking the control.

Provided is an elevator device including a car operation panel installed inside a car of an elevator, and a plurality of landing operation panels installed each floor. The plurality of landing operation panels each include a landing-side transmission/reception device configured to transmit and receive information to and from the car operation panel. The car operation panel includes a reception device configured to receive car settings information and floor-by-floor settings information from an operation device inside the car, and a car-side transmission/reception device configured to transmit and receive information to and from the plurality of landing operation panels.

The present invention provides an elevator emergency operation device, comprising a box having an opening, an operation board, and a middle board. The operation board is provided with electronic devices thereon, and the face of the operation board provided with electronic devices is perpendicular to the plane on which the opening is located. Moreover, the operation board can be disposed inside the box in a manner that it can be pulled through the opening. The middle board is fixed, via a first side thereof, to the operation board, and the middle board is parallel to the plane on which the opening is located. An electric motor operation device, and an elevator apparatus comprising said electric motor emergency operation device or elevator operation device are further provided.

Elevator system (2) comprising: a hoistway (4) extending between a plurality of landings (8); at least one elevator car (6) configured for moving along the hoistway (4) between the plurality of landings (8); an elevator drive (5) configured for moving the at least one elevator car (6) along the hoistway (4); and an elevator control (9) configured for controlling the elevator drive (5). The elevator control (9) is configured for selectively operating in a normal operation mode or in a maintenance mode.

A system to determine a location of a signal emitting device is provided. First, second, and third data is received from at least one movable communication device. Each of the first, second, and third data include a unique identifier of the signal emitting device, a signal strength of a signal received by the at least one movable communication device from the signal emitting device, and a location of the at least one movable communication device when it received the signal. Each of the first, second, and third data include different locations of the at least one movable communication device. A location of the signal emitting device is computed based at least in part on the received first, second, and third data.

Disclosed is a fixture plate comprising a back plate defined by a member extending in a widthwise (W) direction and a height-wise (H) direction, a plurality of support arms including a first support arm and a second support arm connecting proximate a bottom edge of the back plate and spaced in the widthwise direction by a distance W1, each of the plurality of support arms comprising a compound profile defining a pivot section and a support section the pivot section extending arcuately downward along the height-wise direction to a first distal end, the support section comprising a first portion forming a support base, the support base extending perpendicularly away from the back plate to a second distal end, and a second portion that forms a hook portion, the hook portion extending upwardly along the height-wise direction to a third distal end to from a free end of the support section.
